Endorphins

I had done it
A sick grin forms on my face.
I had just pushed myself
to the end of the race

As the sweat drips off my face
and onto the floor
I wondered if I had
energy any more

to even walk out the door
out to the shower
what time was it anyways?
Is anyone up at this hour?

Endorphins made it all worthwhile
all the pain and sweat
but I'd do it all again
on that I would bet

equivalent to 7 miles running
was what I had achieved

a couple months earlier
I had thought it out of my league

but here I sat, triumphant
unable to peel myself off the ground
unable to scream in happiness
or even to make a sound

I had done it
I had kick boxed for an hour
then the stench hit me
it was time for a shower.
